Friends,
You are cordially invited to a Parliamentary Hustings in Catford (Lewisham), S.E. London, to he held thisTuesday 12th June @ 7pm:
Our Lewisham East By-election candidate, David Kurten AM, will be there to represent UKIP. Admission is free.
It is rumoured that the Labour candidate will chicken out and not attend…
The venue, The Salvation Army Hall, 23-25 Brownhill Rd (i.e., the A21 South Circular Rd), London SE6 2HEis just a few minutes walk from Catford Rly Stn (Thameslink Catford Loop Line) and Catford Bridge Rly Stn (Mid-Kent Line).
For those who hail from the West or Centre of London, we are running a minibus to the hustings from immediately outside Gloucester Road tube station (THAT IS NOT THE VENUE – IT IS THE PICK-UP POINT!) at 5:30pm sharp on Tuesday. If you want a place on the bus, you must email
or SMS: 07704 502020
at least an hour before its scheduled departure, giving your full name and contact details.
Since our opponents have got the point of our leaflets which decry the enormous increase in knife and gun crime in London while the appalling Labour Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, won’t permit “stop-and-search” and targeted stops, and instead diverts 900 police to scouring the internet for hurt feelings, expect the hustings to be thrilling.
Given the nature of our opponents, including HateNotHope, Momentum and, of course, the Orwellianly-named “AntiFa”, we have ensured the Police will be in attendance too.
UKIP trusts that you will be there too – please circulate others in your branch ASAP.
Best,
Freddy

David Kurten blasts fascist far-left thugs for shutting down the debate in Lewisham
More than 50 activists have shut down a by-election hustings in Lewisham East, closing down the democratic debate, and preventing the public from making an informed decision at the ballot box.
UKIP Lewisham East candidate, David Kurten AM said: “It is an outrage that fascist ‘anti-fascist’ far-left thugs have closed down the Lewisham East By-Election hustings. There was no chance for voters to hear candidates answer questions. It is a dark day for democracy and free speech when a group of thugs has been allowed to close down a debate and stop voters from hearing and questioning legitimate political parties and make up their own minds who they wish to vote for.
“The police took the decision to close the hustings after just half an hour of opening speeches, but it would have been better if they had taken stronger action and arrested the mob of anti-democratic thugs for Public Order offences, as candidates and voters alike were intimidated by their actions. By allowing these fascist bullies to close down debate, it sends out a terrible message that a far-left mob can get their way by intimidating the public.”

Truly shocking scenes in Lewisham. One of my first public assignments as Deputy Leader with Anne Marie ! The Police made no real attempt to allow our safe arrival, they were simply looking for an excuse to instruct us not to attend, which is exactly what they did when they knew we were on the way.
Sorry to your man David K that we did not have the chance to debate 🙂 , but fair play with the way he handled that ignorant old woman shouting racist at him. Sums up much doesn’t it.
A video blogger was being pushed by a protester holding a placard. Numerous times, deliberately. This is physical assault. Furthermore he was being pushed off the pavement, into the busy road. Endangering his life.
There is ample evidence of this, why will the police take no action?
Cannot now find the video. Videos disappearing is happening a lot now, particularly those embarrassing to the government and the police.
OK I found the video:

Assault at 13:50
On camera. Assailant clearly visible. Why not arrested?

> Why not arrested?
I did smile at that. Hugo, your noble obsession with animal welfare, combined with your provincial reluctance to “sample” London, makes for a charming level of naivete. ;–)
The probability of the police farce of the Khan and the Dick arresting a lefty hoodlum or three in the Grand Socialist Anarchy of Lewisham, when the victim is a taxpayer of the wrong persuasion, is a number between nada and zilch.
In fact, even asking such an obviously racially and/or religiously motivated hate-question is liable to have *you* hauled up before the beaks.
Left-wing fascists, bigots, ignoramuses and others managed to shut down the parliamentary hustings in Catford, silencing our UKIP candidate David Kurten, who is of mixed race – thereby revealing their own *racist* credentials.
Not only was a mob of undesirables collected outside The Salvation Army HQ, but an infiltrator within began shrieking at David in the middle of his brief introductory speech. This continued for several minutes.
All this happened with the full knowledge of local police, who were supposed to be maintaining order, and ensuring a lawful and important National Election event took place. Perhaps no one explained this to the police officers.
Instead, they cravenly instructed the hustings organisers to close the parliamentary hustings down, handing victory (of a sort) to the disrupters.
Democratic debate is, it is to be presumed, no longer allowed in Lewisham.
That’s how low this country has sunk thanks to the knuckle-draggers.
We have video coverage of the outrage. I have a number of photographs of the blockage outside the Salvation Army HQ as well as the badge numbers of the police.
A formal complaint will be made to the Incompetent-in-Charge, Cressida Dick, as well as to the general author of London khanage.
Freddy, I watched some of the videos. There were ample numbers of police there – they should have been able to easily expel troublemakers from the hall, and also to ensure that all candidates (who wanted to attend) could do so safely.
I liked David’s comment!
Yes, Hugo, there were more than enough police there, but if you cast your eye at:

you can hardly fail to observe the gormless, confused, vacant looks.
The seniormost cops are, virtually to a wo/man, Common Purpose infected enemies of the people, decency and common sense.
And a fish rots from the head down…
This police farce shamble was far more concerned that somebody MIGHT take offence at something than anything else – and presumably therefore abused their powers to shut down a lawful meeting being held for a very important purpose, the maintenance of democracy.
The numpties in uniform might try to shut down Parliament itself next, because some double-digiter invader outside decided what was going on inside gave offence to someone.
Oh sorry, I forgot. Parliament already got castrated by Brussels, as revealed (in, say, FCO 30/1038) was Theresa May’s political father, Ted Traitor Heath.
